That is not true as I have rep'd their products and was their local guru. Most people want color believe it or not and cheap too. That is why all the cartridge printers are out there. The amount of customers I talked to in stores telling me how much color kids were running off was i sane in most cases. If you print enough just get a tank printer. You actually do pay for your printer (go figure) but the ink is super cheap and does not plug up as easy as cartridges. If b&w is all you need yes a laser will cost way more but will be cost effective per copy. Tank printers work out to the same or even less per copy than laser. It all depends on your needs and wants.

related, Epson recently announced they are exiting the laser segment for "sustainability" reasons. in other words, they're not able to hold your nuts hostage on frequent ink replacements, so they're not interested in laser anymore. my previous multifunction before my current Canon was an Epson PrecisionCore, and it printed ok for like a month before barfing streaks onto everything even after multiple cartridge changes and endless cleaning cycles. it's one of the few pieces of equipment I've wanted to give The Office treatment to.
